A Street Strewn With Roses

You can imagine my heartfelt delight as I walked down Centre Street to the train station today, in the cool February air, but with a brilliant sun. There is a flower shop just north of 7th ave, inbetween all the art galleries. Outside, there was a big sign that said "Don't forget Valentine's Day!" and scattered on the sidewalk outside the door were red rose petals. All the way to the road, and in front of the entire shop. It was so cute!

Musical Quote of the Day

"Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright
Alright with me
Cause I want nothing more
Than to sit outside Heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
It's where I wanna be"

Windy Card

Hurricaine's a-blowin'! Man it was windy today! The kind of wind that you can't really breathe in, because it rushes into your lungs before they're ready. Had it been summer, the wind would have been wonderful and refreshing, but in the winter it was cold and strong and I was glad my hair was in a pony-tail or I'd have been blinded.
It was cool.
I am well aware of the fact that my blog has no content. Enjoy.

Musical Quote of the Day

"Oh won't you come with me
Where the Wood River flows
We'll watch it meander slowly
As the sky turns
From red to dark
And as that sun goes down
We'll throw our arms around each other
And tell the dreams
That are deep in the heart

Cause the heart is bigger than trouble
And the the heart is bigger than doubt
But the heart sometimes needs a little help
To figure that out"

-Connie Kaldor (composer) Title: Wood River

Screw You, Choir Bitches

There are some really mean bitchy girls in choir. I mean, really mean. Like Gabby and Georgeanne and stuff. But I had a great rehearsal anyway. And school was good. And I am hungry...and thirsty, and Kari is awesome. She laughed the hardest of all when I dragged my butt along the floor like a dog with worms. Long story.

Musical Quote of the Day

"I am wind upon the sea
I am wave upon the ocean
I am murmur of the billows
I am ray of golden sun
I am hawk above the cliff
I am wild boar in valour
I am point of lance in battle
I am stag of seven tynes
I am stag of seven tynes

Who but I
Can throw the light
Upon the meeting of the mountains
Who but I
Will cry aloud
The ages phases of the moon
Who but I
Can know the place
Where sun returns at time of rest
Who but I
Who but I

I am fairest of flowers
I am song of the blackbird
I am salmon in the water
I am word of magic art"

-Daniel Brewbake (composer) Title: Who But I
From the story "Out of the Mist Above the Real". It's a beautiful Celtic piece, and I love it. It's about a shapeshifter.

Be Mine, Valentine?

It is well known throughout this land that I dislike Valentine's Day. I think it's stupid, and more mushy and sappy than even I can endure. Not because I'm bitter, which I'm not at all, but because there shouldn't be one day of the year where you tell someone you love them, appreciate them, and let them know they are special. And I always tell my friends I don't want anything for Valentine's. Not because I'm trying to do that thing that girls do...you know, say I don't want anything, but really I do, and then expect something and if I don't get it I'll be all pissed off. I genuinely don't want anything, just for people to tell me they care for me, which they do everyday anyway.
Also, there is usually a lot of pink floating around...
But this year...well...Mom got me these Valentine's Cards, like the ones you give out in elementary, with like, Barbie or the Hulk or something on them. But these ones are Hello Kitty and really quite adorable. So I figure, hell, might as well give them to my friends, for fun. Except now I'm all into it...eating loads of cinnamon hearts and Valentine's smarties, planning to make heart shaped cookies, despite my lack of culinary skills, looking at lovey-dovey eCards and Build-A-Bear's stock of Valentine's cuteness. But for some reason, I'm not turning my nose in disgust at myself. I think I might really enjoy this Valentine's Day, guys! For the first time in about four years! Keep in mind, I still don't want anything (really, I don't ^_^), I just want to send out some love!

KEVIN AND KARI, PLEASE BE MY VALENTINES!
